Chapter 125: Leaving the Hidden Domain

Sage was pretty sure this wasnt just a normal Hidden Domain. It was far more likely that was just a cover up for this being a completely different planet. He hadnt heard anything in the Cultivator world about traveling among the stars, space or the skies. Perhaps this was a secret kept from lower ranking people while independent spaces or dimensions like Hidden Domains were a common thing left behind by powerful cultivators. Just a larger and more powerful version of a space bag, instead of the idea that there was countless other planets and an infinitely large amount of space out there.

The two of them had already visited every one of the seals within the Hidden Domain and Rocky had already finished her duties before that so there was nothing else keeping them here. Sage asked where the exit was and Rocky pointed out a direction. It was quite close to where they had arrived from. At the time he had fallen out of the sky and was quite annoyed with both the Peak Master and Rocky for not informing him of the danger.

Why wasnt I warned about falling from the sky when we got here?

Rocky humphed and was quiet for a few seconds before answering with that gravelly voice, Peak Master knew that I would have saved you.

No other explanation came afterwards. It was quite frustrating to work with someone who treated words like gold. It was probably because of her voice, but it was still annoying, or at least it was for Sage that wished to get to the truth behind everything. Resigning himself to making guesses, the Lance Beetle carried them down to the ground and into a large cave entrance that Rocky pointed out. It was actually large enough for the Beetle to fly into while carrying them and not even getting close to the walls. Such a large cave had been just around a corner from him when he arrived, but he had no idea because he wasnt allowed to explore and just had to follow Rocky around. Oh well, no sense in worrying about it. Who knows if Ill even be allowed to return here ever again.

Landing, Sage stored the Beetle and they walked up to a large stone platform. Sage looked down and noticed a huge array formation. It was at least a thousand feet in diameter and densely packed with array symbols. Before he could start to study it, Rocky walked over to a pedestal near the edge of the array and placed her hand on it. An orb beneath her hand lit up before she actually spoke, Ive contacted the Peak Master. The array to take us back will activate in one day.

After he was finished he took out the pair of Memory Spheres, holding them out to the Peak Master. One held everything he learned from the Seals, while the other had all their experiences from the time the seal was undone until they left the area again afterwards. He was quite glad he hadnt made any copies of them before now as he was pretty sure the Peak Master was using some sort of lie detecting ability.

Very good. Youve done well, Lang Sheng. Speak nothing of what happened here or in the Hidden Domain to anyone else. Well talk about rewards later, you can also bring along any discoveries you make with your research samples.

Sage nodded his head, happy to have the whole ordeal over with. When the Peak Master mentioned research he smiled and nodded again, bowing to the Peak Master and happily heading in the direction she pointed. Like he figured, they must have plenty of the materials from that place stored up somewhere. If he could find some new uses for them he was sure to get rewarded. Heading off across the huge hall, Sage found a doorway and stepped through. He found himself in a long hallway, dozens of doors lined either side and they were all locked. The door at the end of the hall was wide open and so he took that route. Past the open door was a long empty tunnel. After a few minutes of walking, Sage climbed a set of stairs and passed through a door and found himself within a hallway. Walking around a bit he noticed people wandering about and recognized that he was within the Main Hall in Holy Flame City. Walking outside he took in a breath of fresh air and then slowly let it out again.

Ahh, finally free again. So nice to have a blue sky to look up at once more.

Sage made his way home, passing through the gate of the outer wall before walking up and opening the door to his house. Stepping over the sill, he stopped in his tracks when he heard a voice.

Finally! Youre back!
